Mobile Application Penetration Testing
Mobile apps often combine risky client side behavior with sensitive backend APIs. Budget Security performs manual mobile pentesting to uncover insecure storage, weak transport, broken auth flows, and client side tampering risks, paired with practical remediation guidance.
Testing evaluates how the app handles secrets, local data, jailbreak/root scenarios (where applicable), certificate pinning, deep links, and API interactions. We focus on issues attackers can realistically exploit on device and via supporting services.
Scope iOS, Android, or both. Then book online with transparent pricing and track results in your dashboard with exportable reporting for security and compliance stakeholders.
How we test mobile applications
We combine manual review and dynamic testing techniques appropriate to your build distribution model (test builds, enterprise distribution, etc.). Testing is coordinated with your release constraints and rules of engagement.
Static analysis
Binary review, hardcoded secrets, exported components, obfuscation and integrity checks.
Local storage
Keychain and Keystore usage, cached credentials, logs, backups and screenshot leakage.
Transport security
TLS configuration, certificate pinning strength and bypass, downgrade behaviour.
Platform surface
Deep links, intents, IPC, clipboard, biometric gating and jailbreak/root detection.
Backend interaction
The API behind the app, tested with the same rigour as a standalone API engagement.
Runtime manipulation
Hooking, tamper resistance and what an attacker changes once the binary is theirs.
Example finding
This is the format a finding arrives in.
An example of the format. Every finding carries a rating, reproduction steps and remediation guidance.
Session token cached in plaintext
The long-lived refresh token is written to NSUserDefaults rather than the Keychain, and survives in unencrypted device backups.
Remediation
Store the refresh token in the Keychain with kSecAttrAccessibleWhenUnlockedThisDeviceOnly and exclude it from backups.
What is included
No upgrade tiers. The auditor-ready package is the standard package.
